SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 382,158, dated May 1, 188d.

Application filed March 3, 1887.

To all whom it 71mg/ concern.-

Be it known that l, EDUARD HENN, of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is designed to furnish animproved heatingstove for streetfcars, greenhouses, bath-houses, &c., in which the heat is produced by slowlyburning fuel that requires no shaking off of the ashes and that produces a steady and intense heat; and the invention terior shell or casing provided with air-openings at the top andends, and of an interior fire-pan that is guided in ways of the shell and provided with an adjustable perforated guardcovcr, said iire-pan being provided with a head-plate that is locked to the shell, so as to close the end opening through which the firepan is inserted into the shell. The head-plate has two series of air-openings, one series communicating with the interior of the lire-pan and the other with the space between the same and the shell.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represent-s a vertical longitudinal section of my improved heating stove on line x x, Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is an end elevation; and Fig. 3, a vertical transverse section of the same on line y y, Fig. l.

l Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the outer shell of my improved stove, which shell is preferably made of suitable sheet metal, of oval or other shape, and supported in horizontal position on legs a a, as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 3. The shell A is provided with air-openings a a in the top and ends, and with a handle, a, that is riveted to the top part of the shell to facilitate the lifting and removing` of the stove for charging and replacing the same. One end of the shell A is provided with an opening of sufficient size to insert a ire'pan, B, which is guided by bottom flanges, b, in :fixed longitudinal ways b at the interior of the shell A, as shown clearly in Fig. 3. The upper edges of the fire-pan B are provided 5o with outwardly and downwardly bent flanges Serial No. 229,527. (No model.)

b, on which is guided a detachable perforated guide-cover, B', which has handles ba at one or both ends for sliding said cover on the lirepan and facilitating the charging'of the same and the removing of the ashes. The cover B serves as a safety device for preventing the scattering of the fuel in case the stove should be upset for some reason or other, so [that any danger of tire is prevented. The end of the tire-pan B is provided with a head-plate, D, that is made of larger size than the opening in the end of the shell A, so as to close said opening when the repan is in position. A springlatch or other locking device, d, is applied to the head plate, D, ofthe fire-pan, and a keeper, d', to the end plate of the shell, as shown in Fig. 2, the locking device d d serving'to lock the fire-pan reliably in position in the shell. A handle, e, attached to the headplate D facilitates the removal of the fire-pan from the shell for removing the ashes and charging the tire-pan again with fuel. The head-plate D is provided with two series of holes, f f, the upper series supplying air to the space between the guard-cover of the fire-pan B and the top of the shell A, while the lower series of holes supplies air to the upper part of the fire-pan, so that the air can pass over the surface of the fuel in the lire-pan, aud produce thereby the slow combustion of the fuel. Any fuel composition that is capable of slow combustion may be used with my stove; but I prefer to use the fuel composition for which Letters Patent have been granted to Charles Siedhoff July 13, 1886, No. 345,329, one charge of which burns, according to the size of the heater, from twenty to twenty-four hours before recharging is necessary. The heat generated by the slowlyburning fuel composition heats up the air in the outer shell, which rises thereby and heats the car or room in which the stove is placed. As the fuel composition produces no smoke or ill-smelling gases, the same is unobjectionable andcan be used for various purposes, mainly, however, for street-cars, greenhouses, and also in a smaller size as foot-warmers for carriages and for similar applications.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent--V The combination of an outer shell having a IOC e sema large opening at one end and air-ho1es in the top and ends, fixed longitudinal guideways at the interior of the shell, a lire-pan provided with bottom anges and an adjustable and 5 perforated guardcover, a head-plate attached to one end of the re-pan and made of a larger size than the end opening of the shell, said head-plate being provided with two series of air-openings,A so. as to supply air to the inte- 1o rior of the repan and to the space between the same and the shell, and a looking device for looking the re-pan in position in the shell, substantially asset forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my inventionI have signed my name Vin .presence i5 of two subscribing witnesses.
